saintwarwick Posted 11 January, 2009 Share Posted 11 January, 2009 Cork perhaps... Yes definately and Cork was that man sadly... We seemed to manage a win without him, something we failed to achieve with him in the side for several games now. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mole Posted 11 January, 2009 Share Posted 11 January, 2009 What a **** game of football. Both teams were really bad but Barnsley were slightly less bad than we were. We had two big let offs in the first half so to get in 0-0 at half time we were lucky. The second half was the same as the first with Barnsley slightly edging it for the first 20 or so minutes. Saints then started to have a bit more of the ball and were less **** than Barnsley. We then scored and JP then swapped from a 442 to 5 in midfield. I expected this to result in us coming under the cosh for the last 10 minutes, but as it happened Barnsley were just too **** to test us. That all said WE WON and despite my analysis I WENT HOME HAPPY. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Windmill Arm 2 Posted 11 January, 2009 Share Posted 11 January, 2009 heard nothing all week except the need for Saga. He did **** all by the way, yet its McGoldrick that is still slated. Get off the lads back. He's 22 and only 30 games into his Saints career. Great result today, thought we deserved that little bit of luck tha turned what could easily have been a defeat into a win. After stuffing Reading and only getting a point I think we deserved a change of fortune. Great days. Perhaps if more travelled away from home and saw us win then this board would be a better place for it. So if LeTissier or Shearer or Moran had been so spectacularly shiiite 30 games into their Saints careers, would they're respective managers have continued with them.

Iowsaintsfan Posted 11 January, 2009 Share Posted 11 January, 2009 Just got back, the two new guys were pretty good, especially the Dutch fella, although he did make one shocking error in the first half However, overall we were pretty poor and saved by an incredible Kelvin Davis performance - he pulled off 4 or 5 amazing saves!! After the last one, I just knew we were going to pull off a smash and grab, and we did! Well done to the 521 nutters up there, it was freezing but there was an incredible rendition of Woolston Ferry nonetheless!!! Right, I'm off to defrost! Somes up my day perfectly!

suewhistle Posted 11 January, 2009 Share Posted 11 January, 2009 Oh, and I've just seen a few of the other posts. Cheers Dunc et al. I'm not in the Dolomites but the Italian Alps. Discussing somebody's quick forum post about whether they wrote 'a' or 'the' is taking the whole thing far too seriously. I'm in far too good a mood after a couple of days great snow, sun, superb off-piste and a Saints win to do the same. I can heartily recommend a positive outlook on life.;-) I'm off to wash my ski-socks. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No,but the difference now is that powers from above are telling Portvliet that McG must play where as back then such things did not take place.

He hasn't scored 9 league goals mate, 2 of his 9 or 8 where against Exeter. 1 vs Cardiff 1 vs Derby which wasn't even really his goal, Lallana knocked it over the line. 1 vs Norwich 1 vs Coventry 1 vs Preston 1 vs Reading 1 vs Barnsley 2 vs Exeter in the Cup Still if he gets 15~ league goals it will be a decent total for a young player in a struggling team, really need Saga to get 10 or so in the remaining games for us to stay up though.

Tough audience. Let me remind you that that MLT, BT and others have all struggled for any sort of consistency in their earlier years. McGoldrick is no Shearer but I still think he shows promise and should be given more leeway by fans. I personally will continue to back him and with a bit of luck he will prove you all wrong.

Viking Warrior Posted 11 January, 2009 Share Posted 11 January, 2009 I thought it was cold up there. I just had a look at the pictures on the BarnsleyFC link Apart from kelvin none of our players wore gloves , threeof there players did. okay they may suffer from raynards, but be had three players wearing short sleeves, size, holmes and surman. The only barnsley player was righter and he was wearing gloves. Based on that analysis does that mean us softee southerners are now harder than our northern brethren?

Poshie72 Posted 11 January, 2009 Share Posted 11 January, 2009 Very pleased, didnt see that result coming at all. Having not listened to the match and only put Sky Sports on for the last 20 minutes was amazed to see that we were still 0-0. The reporter at the match then said that it was all Barnsley and that we hadnt troubled their keeper all afternoon. When we scored 5 mins later I think the whole of Sandhurst heard. When do we ever score against the run of play?? I then spent the next 15 mins nervously listening to sky until the final whistle. After the awful week I have had, it was good to be able to raise a smile. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chez Posted 11 January, 2009 Share Posted 11 January, 2009 (edited) Does more than SJ..:smt044 No but i bet you did... Certainly glad we have got shot of the laziest player in Saints' history. McGoldrick needs to do more, but at least he leaves the centre circle now and then. Stern was actually extremely pacey but no Saints fan would know it as he just could not be bothered. Most players that come through the ranks get much more support from their own fans. Edited 11 January, 2009 by Chez Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SFC Forever Posted 11 January, 2009 Share Posted 11 January, 2009 After the game against reading, Lowe went into the dressing room and started talking to the players. I don't know what he said but it infuriated JP who began rowing with Lowe. He told Lowe to go upstairs to continue the row and they both left the players alone with their thoughts. Since then we have added two players to our squad. Both in positions which were needed. Saga returning could also be a bonus. Saeijs coming over has surprised me, along with a few others, as it appeared we had no imput coming from JP. Is it just Possible that JP has found the balls to tell Lowe to back off? He must have had some imput in the transfer as it has come from a league he knows. If so perhaps we will see another turn in our favour. I have seen how desolute he has looked recently as he wears his heart on his sleeve. He appeared to be a nice man but soft. Is it asking too much now for us to give him a chance? Especially if his row with Lowe was a threat of some kind or another. As for McGoldrick. Give the lad a break. We need a solid ball winner so that Spiderman can be released to do his stuff where it hurts.None of our forwards will score many goals without a suitable service. The midfield gets runover week after week yet everyone blames the forwards for not scoring and defence for not defending. It is a team game. I feel better today and hope to feel even better after Donny. Dare I mention Norwich in the same breath? Keep the faith, we will get there in the end.

St Marco Posted 11 January, 2009 Share Posted 11 January, 2009 I havent checked but I will bow to your info.Interestingly the goals have provided 14 points from those games, we only lost 1 of those games and that was in the last minute. Still good considering our team and position. The problem with this defence of DMG is that you don't mention how many games he has actually played and how long he has been on the pitch for them. He has played 30 games of which only 1 was from the subs bench this season. His shooting stats are 44 shots on target and 39 off target. The next person in the shooting for us has 18 shots off target and that is Lallana. Meaning DMG is twice as likely to miss the target of th next guy on the list. In the league he has 7 goals from 27 games, he has played in every league game this season. That means he scores 1 goal almost every 4 games. Meaning his projected total for the season is 11.5 goals. Hardly prolific is it considering he has played more games and more minutes then everyone except Davis. Surman has scored 5 league goals, only 2 less then DMG, if he was put up front i bet he would score more goals then DMG. DMG is up there with the worst strikers i have ever seen play football for any club let alone ours. He will never be a top striker unless he changes his style of play but he is too arogant to do that, Holmes deserves the credit for our goal yesterday, he did all the hard work.
